Quote - I just read Vue 8 is coming out by the end of this year But didn't Vue 7,Vue 7.4,Vue 7.5 and Vue OMG Just come out...Is Vue 7 that bad of a product that they already need Vue 8? I'm still on Vue 5 so this doesn't effect me But why so soon? Will you Vue 7 guys have to pay a arm and a leg for a upgrade?
Version 8 will continue further on its path of improving Vue's integration with 3rd-party modeling/rendering applications. But don't expect a lot of new features in the low-end configs of Vue. Just slight improvements on what those Vue's already have. Vue Infinite is kind of a middle sibling right now that gets ignored. For an "Infinite" label, it's still waiting for simple things like getting its bump mapping fixed and maybe one day getting normal mapping added.
But enough with the Sprectral Clouds stuff already. We get it already. Vue Infinite can do skies wonderfully. But Vue Infinite (and the rest of the Vue's) needs to start doing some of the other things better.
